O'Grady's Old Time Photos

I've been to a similar shop in Santa Cruz a couple of years back, and the customer service compared to that other awful Santa Cruz place and this lovely shop is like night and day.

If you're going to take pictures for this price, trust me, this place will give you a much more fun and relaxing experience.

A very nice woman let us choose our outfits and helped us with poses and outfits that went together.

The photographer took a couple of shots per pose to help us find the perfect ones later.

We were in and out in a jiffy with the pictures we wanted. There was no rush and only patience and politeness on the photographer's part from beginning to end.

Very happy we came here, greatly recommend!

Pros :

Its hard not to fall in love with the pictures :D We loved every aspect of this mini 15 minute photoshoot ! It was fast, stylish and glam-wonderful (; (yup, I totally just made that a word)... The price is reasonable, 2 people $50, they sell several different frames for $4 (: came with 4 (5X7) Pictures ! We might do this some time again in the future and dress up different, you can pose so many ways. If you think of going, I suggest you look at the photo albums before to get an idea of the many poses. The lady that took our pictures was nice, informative and helpful. Great job !!

Cons :

We felt that the pictures were taken very quickly, with little time to figure out what pose we wanted to do. Just a bunch of flashing lights everywhere, but someway - somehow it worked out for the best?...the pictures are clear, they really give you that feeling of being back in time. Thats the whole point of this photoshoot & thats the reason for my 4 STARS ! (:

So much fun! My boyfriend planned a wonderful date here to get dressed up all fancy. We plan to come back in a few months! Definitely a great experience and highly recommended for the memories and photos




Call for an appointment due to covid !

I have done pics here 5 times. The woman behind the counter is friendly, welcoming, personable and helpful. She is a pro and the pics come out great. I am usually in and out in under 30 min and very happy with the product.

FYI - There is another place around the block, but I do not reccomend it.

Having found two old time photo places in Sacramento my friends and I chose this one. The photos turned out great and the woman working there was very helpful in looking over the photos with us to make a decision on which were the best, as well as sending us the digital copy. The digital came only in jpeg rather than raw, and cost a bit more, but was worth it.
My only note of improvement for the place would be a bit of an update on the costumes. I know they get a lot of use, however they are in need of some upkeep or replacement.

What a fantastic experience! Very friendly and accommodating. Takes about twenty minutes. First, you sorta pick the style of clothing, from toddler to old timer.. from gun slinger to gentleman. Or bar maid to proper... Really fun! The photos go quick. I recommend smiles, but the rough and tough look works too! Prices are good. $45 for one person. Then, $5 for each additional person. You pick the sets you want on two sheets. Several to choose from..The frames are additional $5 each.
Myself and my two kids got out with "the works" with two 8x10s and frames for $65-70. I recommend this memory to any family who enjoys a good time!
Don't forget, as a Christmas Gift!!
Thanks McGrady's! (Right aross the street from Fanny Anne's). I'm sure to be back!

We had fun taking pics here, she was helpful in every way from wardrobe outfits, to selecting our favorite shots!

We had so much fun!! She could have used another person there to help, but the pictures still came out great.

When my cousin was visiting from Japan, one of the things she wanted to do was to get her picture taken in old western attire.

We went to the other old time photo shop only to find that it was closed. Using my trusty Yelp app, I searched for another shop. I knew there was another shop because my Yelp buddy Kali D., had written a review for Old Time, and she was pleased.

I found them and gave them a call, the lady who answered told me that she closes at six and it was already past five thirty. We cut our shopping short and high tailed it. We arrived and the lady went over the costumes and prices. She was ever so patient, while I had to translate everything.

My daughter and cousin both were dressed in their costumes, and had several different poses, all within fifteen minutes. We selected the pictures we wanted as it was displayed on the computer monitor.

The whole process took a little longer than thirty minutes. I didn't feel so guilty keeping the lady past her closing time, as a group of girls walked in and wanted their pictures taken.

My cousin was ecstatic with her little memento of Old Sac. I can't say enough about how patient the sales lady was and how she made my cousin feel comfortable in an attire she never could wear back home.

Amazing service, yes jerry she is amazing very professional and super sweet!! She goes above and beyond to make your pictures are everything to you. Will be coming here gassing , again and again . Takes her times and takes plenty of pictures for you to choose from and has great deals.
